IN noticing the candidacy of Mr..
Cotton for the legislature, one of our
Western Shore contemporaries very per-
tinently says;
Mr.. Cotton has lttle advantage over
Mr. Cowen when exposing the crimes OF
the ring Mr.. Cowen is an outsider
who is obliged to get his information
from unwilling witnesses, with an occa-
sional hint from the records of the Courts
Mr.. Cotton has had an opportunity OF
seeing things from the inside. We have
no doubt but that the victims of Mr.. Col
tons polished satire will retort on him
with the tn qHoqte which convicted Grim
inals are wont to hurl at their old asso-
ciates; but he will only smile at their
inuendoes, and go on with ''reiorm"
speeches with the serene air of conscious
innocence. Mr.. Cotton is not as big and
strong as some of the sham Democrats,
but he is twice as smart as the best of
them.
Mr.. Cotton has announced himself as a
candidate for the Legislature in the Sec
ond district, and the fact that SO shrewd
politician has begun his campaign with
an arraigument of the ring for its man
fold crimes, shows the drift of public
opinion in Baltimore He declares that
John Lee Carroll was counted III as Gov
ernor of the State, and that James Hodges
was counted in as Mayor of Baltimore
City. Mr.. Cotton was president OF the
board OF Police Commissioners when
Hodges was counted in and he knows
whereof he speaks.
Some people may be disposed to laugh
at the spectacle of Mr.. Cotton posing as
'reformer," but there can be no doubt
that he is in real earnest and he has
stock of facts in his possession, that
will make him an ugly antagonist should
any of the ringsters provoke him into
telling all that he knows.

THE CONFEDERATE FLAGS.

The President unadviscdly issued
an order on Wednesday, directing
that the Confederate flags now held
as trophies at Washington, should
be returned to those who originally
unlurled them. Seeing his mistake,
in assuming to do what Congress
alone has the power to do, he after
wards revoked it. His order has
been naturally the subject of very
general criticism, most OF 1t adverse
to him. The tenor of this criticism
may be inferred from that made by
Gov. Foraker, of Ohio.
81 could stand the rehabilitation
OF left Davis and the joining of him
and Cleveland in eulogies Of Cal
houn and secession; | could also
keep the peace when Rosser was or
dering Sheridan to keep out OF the
Shenandoah Valley, and Henry
Watterson was speaking of the de
pendent pension bill as a liniment to
abolish vagabondage by pensioning
a lot of tramps, but | begin to lose
nv temper when the PRECEDENT OF
United States went fishing on Deco
ration Day, and made up my mind
that the time had come to dhaW the
line when, in ignorance or defiance
of the law, he usurped authority to
order, the rebel flags returned to the
seeding States; not that | have any
affection for the dirty rags, but be
cause they are emblems of treason OF
that are wanted for no other purpose
than public parade, and to fire the
Southern heart with pride for lost
cause that ought never TO be recalled
except with shame, because ii is the
crime of the age. The people OF
Ohio are not ready to recognize the
Southern ContederaCy, and they do
not intend to do so. This State wrll
not surrender any rebel flags

THE doctrine of equality OF posses
sion is not new, nor are the means
modern hy which It's attainment is pro-
posed. They originated when Cam
and Abel went forth to invoke equality
of blessing upon their sacrifice, and be-
cause the blessing fell upon Abel, the
herdsman, and not upon Cam, the
plowman, the unthrifty Cain beset his
thirty brother and slew him. The old
tragedy is wrought into American poll
tics by the hands of a new party, and
the "ideal life is sought as it was that
day death came into the world.
Thoughtful men must meet this issue
not by prescription, but by education.
Demagosues have blathered on the
labor question too long. The time is
here for frank dealing and plainnesS OF
speech. Communism may be the ideal
life to those foreign born, whose un-
welcome tinkering threatens our iasti
tutions but honest learning and the
enjoyment of the possessions which ii
secures are the purposes set before
Americans If these are not amongst
the aspirations OF any considerable mum
Der Of the alien born, let them find an
nnconquered continent, where their
ideal equality reigns in darkness su-
preme, and, in their breech-clout and
tent, live ''the ideal life. "-Er.

MORAL EDUCATION.

On Sunday last "Children's Day
was observed we believe generally by
the Methodists all over the country
That large and powerful denomination
turns the day to account in behalf Of
their church educational work. And
there is reason and good sense, in this
use of the day, since it is apparent that
no secular, or public system of educa-
ton will supply the moral and religious
instruction which are SO essential in
the formation of human character.
Because the possession of high moral
qualities is generally associated with
great intellectual requirements the idea
has become a popular but erroneous
one, that education of the intellect
necessarily implies moral cultivation
so on the other hand it seems to be
the opinion of many persons, that il
every man and woman could read and
write, crime would diminish, poverty
abate and universal suffrage would be
come indeed what anniversary orators
proclaim ia universal blessing. And
yet nothing is further from the truth.
For many instances in the experience
of every one illustrate the tact, that the
education of the moral and religious
principle in human character is of more
importance than the training OF the in
tellect. Without such higher educa-
ton, however well advanced in learn
ing, popularly SO called, the man is but
an educated devil" What, then, are
we to do about it2 "Morals" without
religious sanction, are like an epi-
gram with the point cut off. The State
cannot teach religion or meddle with
dogma. That interference was in the
alliance of Church and State-a thing
already, in this country, of the past
Under our conditions religious instruc-
ton, except in the most general sense,
is entirely out of the question.
The conclusion Of the whole matter
is this That as the public purse sup
ports our schools, public opinion must
sustain and direct them in their mora
aspects. By this it is not meant that

THE COFFEE PANIC.

Nobody will regret that the coffee
syndicate came to grief, and as a
result Of the panic on Monday several
firms of spectators went under. The
fact i; that the gradual rise in the price
of this indispensable commodity for a
year past, has been almost purely spec
uative, and the extraordinary leap dur
ing the past month absolutely so.
The wholesale price of Rio coffee
last August was 8 cents in September
10 cents; and in November 1864
cents by December it had jumped to
1,ra cents there was but little change
during the first three months of 1887,
but from the Ist of April to the Ist of
June the price advanced from IS;
cents to 2238 cents, while retailers have
been charging consumers s. cents a
pound tor grades for which they should
not be paying more than eighteen. In
the meantime those who have been in
the habit of purchasing their coffee
ground, and put up IN packages have
been imposed upon by all sorts Of
cheap adulterations. Scorched rye and
the scores of cheap substances that may
be used to increase the weight and bulk
of ground coffee have been poured
down the peoples throats. And all
this to crafty the speculative greed of
coffee syndicate whose center was at
Havre France, with branches at Rio
and New York. On Monday last the
market broke and prices took atumble.
As usual, of course, consumers must
wait some time to get the advantage of
decline in price. The retail trade
very quickly mikes its customers feel
an advance in price, but generally are
slow to give them the advantage of a
fall in prices. Consumers, however,
will ultimately get the benefit of the
break on Monday, and can view with
perfect complacency the bursting Of
the speculative coffee bubble.

FoR good while past there has been
an active spirit OF reckless speculation
in this country, but it has not been to
any extent in the stock market. The
dealings there have been tame and
spiritless, while the gambling has been
mainly conducted in other arenas. On
Monday the great ''coftee corner" col
lapSed in New York, and this was fol-
lowed on Tuesday by the break of the
wheat corner" that has been carried
on for some time past in Chicago. 1t
appears that the Chicago bull ring in
WHEAT has been unable to carry the
enormous stocks they have on hand
and al the same time absorb the large
wheat receipts that daily pour into
Chicago. These receipts on Tuesday
exceeded 100000 bushels, for the far
mers, as they found prices advancing,
were anxious to sell. The Chicago
wheat market consequently broke badly,
and some of the spectators are re-
ported as seriously crippled.

DENOUNCING SALOON DRUGGISTS


We are glad to see that the Penn.
sylvanla Pharmaceutical Association has
taken up the cudgel against the toe
common evil of saloon drug stores. The
president of the association at Its tenth
annual meeting on Monday in Phila-
delphia spoke cut in the meeting on
this matter
We all know said he and to the dis,
grace of true pharmacy, that in many
localities the drug store and the run
shop were practically one and the same
or, in other words, in many, in very
many drug stores the sale of liquors as
beverages, either at the popular soda
fountain or under high sounding names
or fancy syrups, or straight and unmixed
made up very large portion of the
daily income of these stores. Men are
today pursuing the liquor traffic as
pharmacists who would be ashamed tc
hang out the sign of retail liquor dealer,
which more nearly represents their true
calling
We hope, and have every reason tc
believe, that in Cecil county we have
not been harboring many, if any O
these disguised rummeries. But IL
many towns and in the cities generally
they are the ipsidious enemies of so.

one OF the cryina evils of this coun-
Try Is discrimination against women in
the matter of wages, and her exclusion
from the benefits of what is generally
known as the co cooperative system.
There is no reason under the sun why
a woman should not for the same work
be as well compensated as man. Why
should her sex be made the ground of
unjust discrimination? ust On this
point we admire the pith and point OF
the following from the OstrLmd

The rights of man demand equality for
all; indeed, the truly brave and noble ask
simply for justice, not for advantage of a

PEST IN THE PEACH ORCHARDS
Serious Damage to the Crop Wrought by
the Rose Bugs.

Serious Damage to the Crop wrought by
the Rose Bugs.
A special despatch from Wilmington,
Del, says the reports that are coming
from the Lower Peninsula and from Kent
county of the ravages of the rose bugs.
have created feeling of serious appre-
hension for the financial prosperity of
the Peninsula for the coming year The
pests are described as being about three
eights of an inch long, with wings. The
males are of a dusty, dirty yellow color,
and the females OF little darker hue.
They seem to attack everything. and the
list includes peaches, blackberries, cher
ries, grapes, pears, plums, apples, toma
toes. and even the forest trees. The peach
prospects have been so changed within
the past fortnight that no one attempts
to predict the number of baskets. The
reports that come from Kent county in
dicate that instead of a phenomenal
CROP as was anticipated at first, the
Weld will only be about one-t fourth.
Nothing has been found that will kill
the pests 4 meeting of the peach men
will be held at Middletown on Saturday,
when some ideas of the damage that has
been done can be estimated. 1t is an-
nounced from Wyoming, Del, that on
account of the delay on the part of the
railroad trains carrying fruit between
Pnlladelrha and New York, Il6 carloads
ot awberries from Delaware reached
New York TOO late for the market on
Tuesday and Wednesday of last week,
causing loss of about $ll.6SO 10 the
growers. There were l,lGS 900 quarts
which sold for an average of live cents a
quart or about 35S, 400. just about the
cost of raising and picking the fruit and
starting il on the road.
